They say a WR third year is when they break out or bust. We will see whether or not Ted Ginn is here to stay with the Miami Family or he’s just another Cam Cam miss.

We saw flashes of his versatility last year running sweeps and catching amazing balls. We also saw times he disappeared.

If he can stay consistent he will be a fixture on the field for years.

I’m perfectly happy with where Ginn is and can’t wait for the season to start. There are however two things that need to change for his game to go to the next level. The first thing is he needs to improve his yards after catch, the thing is i believe he is afraid of contact, once he gets over that I think his game will improve that much. The other thing , and this is not really his fault , is that he needs a QB who can get him the ball deep.
 Did somebody order a Ginn and juice and a Henne and coke?!. Man I can’t wait to say that during the season!!….as always nice write up Matty

Again, We have been bad went drafting WR, atleast as far as i can remember. Jatil Green come to mind! Even tho, i cannt compare boh cause Green didnt play(almost) with us, for been a top 10 pick, is a bust! Atleast, Ginn has done some dmg on ST returns!
I will luv to see him become a #1 WR, cause he has the potential. Forget about Penniless arm, cause he has a good arm, no more excuses. Bring it on Ginn, with your entire family!

haha by the way, i was going to point out before you did :

Sparano = Matty = SLAP

just kidding lol

you need to have a #2 & #3 receiver so you spread the defence and create the opportunities.
If you note that the games that Ginn “disappeared” I thought he was being double teamed, effectively being marked out of the game, but that gave space & opportunities for Camarillo, Bess and our TE’s.
The main problem that Ginn had last year was that he was the main aerial threat and as such thats the way the opposition defences treated him.
Hopefully this year with the rest of the offence coming on leaps and bounds, the opposition defence won’t be able to double mark Ginn and therefore he’ll have more touches and not get creamed at point of delivery.
This year should be a break out for him.

Beeter ideas and better said than Mando’s piece. I agree, we don’t need a big-time WR #1. Can there be one with CP taking snaps?

Of all the recieves Ginn is compared to in this article, only one is a top 10 pick… Braylon Edwards. The next highest pick was low 1st round, very low. Terrell Owens was a 3rd round pick. Hines Ward 3rd round. Coles 3rd round. Steve Smith 3rd round. I see a trend, same trend we heard before this draft from the Bill Parchells camp. You don’t pick WR’s early in the draft. 5 Players picked after Ginn in the 1st round have already made a Pro Bowl.

Don’t get me wrong I like Ginn but at #9 he was a bad pick. Trade down get more picks and they still could have got Ginn if that was a must have. I think Ginn’s value will go up if Henne takes over at QB because a deep threat because more viable with a stronger arm. In this offense you want a possesion WR.

n fact, I’m here to highlight the fact that while Teddy is yet to produce like a top draft pick or a true #1receiver, he still could become one. Ginn is only entering his 3rd NFL season – the season in which young wide receivers tend to break out and flourish. L

Heretic burn the witch at the stake!

… but how many quarterbacks did he have throwing to him the first year?

How many double-teams does he face in the course of a season?

How long does it take to develop a receiver?

And what does it matter overall… I prefer a plethora of receiving targets to a “let’s focus on one” downfield target.

But what do I know?

First and foremost I would like to say to all of you that mention where he was drafted and his production doesn’t match is just plain dumb. Look at how many busts there have been over the past 10 years at WR taken in the top 15 picks, those WR didn’t even have close to the season Teddy just put up so lets be thankful that he is on track.

Now with that off my chest lets get into our offense as a whole last season and how I think that played a big part in Teddys numbers. Five key contributers to why Teddy’s nubmers should be much higher this season compared to last ….

1. Same QB and Offensive System. As a young player sometimes its very hard to move from one system to another or one QB to another, 3 QB’s rookie season and only 1 month to build with Chad before his second. Overall this isn’t a huge factor but this should allow him to feel more comfortable on the field and think less and play faster.

2. Improved Running Game – well this isn’t a forsure thing it should be IMO better this season due to the fact we have picked up a C who excels more in the run game, Ronnie Brown playing in his second season after ACL knee surgery and progression in the offense for all players.

3. Bigger, Stronger, Faster – on top of everything else I’m sure teddy has been hitting the weight room this offseason to get better breaks when a CB gets a hold of him

Put this all together and then you get what is called a breakout season .. IMO lol

like Calvin Johnson for instance. I still remember how the Ginn fanatics (and really there is no other word for it) argued that Ginn was just as good if not better than CJ. Hmm, CJ had over 1300 yards on an 0-16 team with virtually a tackling dummy at QB. Dwayne Bowe, another Ginn peer, managed over 1000 yards on a 2-14 team, being the chiefs. So far, both of these guys, especially CJ, are well ahead of Ginn. So let’s not hear any of the pooh-poohing about how ginn was on a bad team in ’07.

Conversely, Ginn has done better than guys like Robert Meachem, Anthony Gonzalez, and Craig Davis. Although these players went a bit later in the draft (late first round and therefater than Ginn) but the fact remains that Ginn has been more productive than all of them.

I don’t really see Ted Ginn being a 1300 yard receiver ever really. His game and his strengths are simply not diverse enough to be an every route sort of guy as compared to a guy like Andre Johnson or Calvin Johnson – both of whom are threats on any route in the playbook. He can be a 900 yard solid guy though and that’s not bad at all.

That wanna be better stop disappointing me.

Mike Vick!!! BAMMM!!!
